'Short ribs' on Serious Eats

Today I'd like to present an argument in favor of lettuce wraps. Sure, they have a reputation for being a vehicle for ho-hum, low-carb and bland diet food, but there's no reason they need to stay in such a category. Once filled with rich and spicy short ribs, soft and sticky white rice, and potent kimchi as they are in Michael Romano and Karen Stabiner'sFamily Table, the humble Bibb lettuce leaf transforms into the best sort of wrap. They're strong enough to contain its filling, yet supple and mild enough to not overpower their contents. It's the best excuse to eat with your hands. These particular short rib wraps are super easy to throw together: blend up a potent marinade and let the boneless rib meat drink up its flavor for a couple of hours (or more if need be), heat a heavy pan, and sear away.

This is a stupidly easy recipe for sweet, spicy, and sticky Korean-Style Short Ribs. The ribs marinate overnight in soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, Sriracha, and aromatics and then are simply thrown a broiler for 10 minutes to quickly cook and caramelize. Two steps and you've got Koreatown in your kitchen. More

In This is a Cookbook, Max and Eli Sussman offer just that--a stupidly easy recipe for sweet, spicy, and sticky Korean-Style Short Ribs. The ribs take overnight marinade in soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, sriracha, and aromatics and then are simply thrown a broiler for 10 minutes to quickly cook and caramelize. Two steps and you've got Koreatown in your kitchen. More

The ultimate comfort food, short ribs infuse a slow-cooked sauce with sultry flavor. The trick? Searing meat at a high heat to build depth, a slow, low oven setting, and infusions like orange zest and bay leaves. That, and patience so ingredients can meld. More

By marinating plenty of fatty short ribs in a mix of karashi mustard, a sinus-clearing paste of nearly wasabi-like spiciness as well as soy, sugar, and a touch of unexpected but perfect balsamic, these ribs have a chance to tenderize slightly and absorb a punchy hit of mustard. Once marinated (do yourself a favor and let them sit for at least a few hours), these short ribs can be treated exactly like steak. Just slap 'em on the grill, brush with the marinade a couple of times, and cook them to your desired level of doneness. More

Winter, as a season, is especially conducive to saving money by using inexpensive cuts of meat. When the weather begins calling for rich stews and slow-braised roasts, I put the cheapest selections at the butcher to their best use. More

After a first attempt at Korean barbecue with Daeji Bulgogi, it became clear that most of you thought galbi is where it's really at. Naturally, I had to give it a go and after trying some of that sweet, salty, and incredibly beefy short ribs, I'm now totally on the Galbi bandwagon. More

"Short ribs are notoriously tough and chewy if not cooked correctly but this hour-long steam makes sure they come out tender." The words "indirect heat" used to send shivers down my spine. But this weekend, I overcame my fear of... More

If you are anything like me, food shopping makes you hungry. I've tried eating before I go to the market but I invariably get hungry halfway through my trip. In a prefect world I would be able to do some... More

I'm still new to this whole Korean barbecue world, but my first foray into the cuisine amazed me. It was kalbi (or galbi), and it has you take thinly sliced short ribs (one of the toughest, fattiest cuts on the... More

I tend to put on the Primal Grill with Steven Raichlen show when I want to fall asleep. Don't get me wrong, Raichlen has some great recipes, even if they can be unnecessarily heavy on ingredients, but something about his... More
